I
never really understood why a lot of people fuss about February 14, or rather,
why people think that love is best displayed on one specific day. Why the
flowers, why the chocolates, why the expensive dinners, the sweet flattery
words exclusively used over and over by a multitude of individuals all over the
world. I mean seriously, out of the 365 days in a year, they just had to pick
one day out of the many when they could just cherish their love and passion for
one another everyday. What screwed logic is that?
Blah.
I’m rambling. But hey, I’m not complaining about discounted meals for two, if
you ask me. ;)
Linea
in IT Park, one of the less packed establishments on this day, had this
Valentines’ day promo available for their patrons. Each meal is comprised of a salad bowl for
appetizers and an extravagant main dish of your choice between beef roulade and
grilled salmon with a refreshing glass of red or white wine. To top the evening
off, you get a dessert plate of cooled fresh fruits with several mounds of ice
cream sprinkled with a generous amount of cinnamon.
The
appetizer, Linea salad, had greens with an intricate amount of crisp in them in
addition to the load of nuts and sweetness of the vinaigrette generously
sprinkled on it. The main dish, the beef roulade was cooked just right in
contrast to the (overcooked) grilled salmon.
Interestingly, the main dishes had potatoes with them, one served mashed
and the other grilled.
In
addition to the packaged deal we ordered, we also got a 12-inch vegetarian
pizza, something I really didn’t quite like either. The menu advertised zucchini added into it as
well as shiitake mushrooms but both were non-existent!
Dessert
was a good return from a disappointing salmon dish (not to mention the pizza!)
It was diabetes heaven, but it was well worth it! Two scoops of strawberry ice
cream and a centerpiece scoop of cinnamon ice cream! Yum!

Verdict:
2.5/5
This
place is a hit and miss. Sometimes they get the taste while sometimes they don’t.
Worth a second visit if you have enough money. This place is pricey,
